MAJOR GIDEON GWAZA ORKAR; THE YOUNG AND INTELLIGENT OFFICER WHO SAW THE FUTURE AND ACTED BUT BETRAYED.

Following the unfolding of events in Nigeria, particularly under the leadership of president Muhammadu Buhari, it is becoming crystal clear that Orkar and his colleagues in the military were only prophetic and proactive, not rebels as was insinuated by the military junta.
It's no longer news that the young officers that led the aborted coup in April, 1990, were focused, intelligent, decisive and futuristic. As a secondary School student, I could remember very well, when Major Orkar specifically pointed out some states in northern Nigeria that have become so notorious in propagating religious fundamentalism, hatred and ethnic supremacy, which to them, was inimical to National cohesion and the spirit of Unity as enshrined in the Constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.
Although the coup attempt was foiled; some of the leaders apprehend, court marshaled and subsequently killed, which major Gideon Orkar was among those who paid the supreme prize; germane issues raised in that coup broadcast by major Gideon Orkar are now manifestly reinforced by the government of Nigeria.
For instance, before the general election, there were reported cases of killing of innocent citizens cut across the length and width of the country. Hardly you listen to news without reports of herdsmen, fulani jihadists, Boko Haram, ISAWP, Terror-bandits and Ansaru attacking, kidnapping and slaughtering human beings like chickens. All these started from the same states that were mentioned my the 1990 coup plotters. They have institutionalize killing of innocent citizens and made it look so simple in such that the victims are blamed for being killed. And any attempt for self defense is treated as treasonable felony by the jihadist inclined government of Buhari.
When election time table was released and election drew nearer, the massive killings subsided to pave the way for the islamifacist group to consolidate their plot to take over constitutionally. A clear indication that the killings in the country were, and are still controlled by the power that be. Their plans worked out well as calculated. The elections were manipulated using government machineries to thwart the hope of Nigerians.
Immediately after elections, the genocide resumed in a full scale as people are being slaughtered daily like cows in abattoir. Between 1st March to 15th May this year, more than 250 Nigerians have been killed by the imported jihadists, often emasculated as herdsmen or unknown gunmen. The authorities are not claiming responsibility for their failure to protect the citizens, they have blatantly refused to accept they have failed, infact, Buhari has given himself distinction for performing beyond the set target. I believe this aberration can be tolerated only in the country of insanes that is governed by psychiatric patients.
Today is 33 years after that heroic coup attempt that was meant to liberate the indigenous people of Nigeria from ethno-religious colonialism, Nigeria still remain under siege; the people of the same region still remain the poorest after superintending over the massive oil wealth for over forty years out of 63 years of our Independence. I want to still emphasize that, it is very easy to kill a man who is driven by ideology, but his ideology can not be killed because ideas don't die, they can only be rendered irrelevant with superior ideas. Major Orkar: you were killed but your ideas still remain fresh in our heart as far those things you mentioned continued to hunt us.
May your soul continue to rest in peace, my Hero.

Well, seeing what the middlebelt has turned into, a plantation of death by marauding Fulani herdsmen like in the time of the rampaging Bushman Dan fodio killing raping, kidnapping burning, then this young soldier Was intelligent and yeah he saw the future way beyond his time.

He should be highly honoured and there should also be a Remembrance Day for all those killed by the Fulani Herdsmen allover the middlebelt of Nigeria

"Our history is replete with numerous & uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominating repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt & the south"

It is our unflinching belief that this quest for domination, oppression and marginalization is against the wish of God and therefore, must be resisted with vehemence. Anything that has a beginning must have an end....
-Maj.Gideon Gwarza Orkar.
I said it yesterday too. Late Major Gideon Gwarza, Orkar and late Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu are true hero's who truly saw the ills and rotteness plaguing Nigeria from a distance and make attempts to intervene.

No sane person still living today in Nigeria will not acknowledged that the multi-headed nepotism, clannishness, religious fanatism, ethno-religious supremacist agenda, wanton bloodshed and killings by the feudal power lord have only worsened over time.The events of these generation have simply made me to believe in these two men.They saw today's Nigeria from yesteryears.

On the other hand if Orkar coup had succeeded, we would have had a second civil war for most of the 1990s.

Dividing resource dependent nations always leads to war for control of resources. See the first civil war.

Better we work within the system

Nigeria needs to separate peacefully, the only way that will happen Obi is blocking it. Obi becoming president will delay the separation. Tinubu will make division happen. The man is going to be ruling from France and London Hotel or mansions.

In other words, Nigeria must split when your side is not in power.

That's why your secessionist movements are never serious. At the end, you guys lose interest in Nigeria when your side is losing, and when your side wins, the Nigerian flags come out.

Same way Tinubu and Buhari supporters were behaving back in 2011.

Go and join a party or form one, and start by running for councillor, and change things from the ground up.

Lol you can't massacre people and start saying we're one. You can't protect killer herdsman based on their tribe and let them attack people and say we're one. You can't chase people out of another man's state and say we're one. Now after buharis rule can you see he did good?
